I'm trying to resell Steam games purchased as gifts.  I noticed a few other threads where unused keys for games that could be activated on steam were being sold, and this seemed like a more straightforward way to go about it.

That's what's needed, shops and business' using Bitcoin, otherwise the public will not buy in, most Bitcoin trade now seems to be people playing Casino Trading at the exchanges,

Depends what you mean. I am offering to accept bitcoins on a counselling website, but haven't had any takers yet.

In order for BTC to be viable, the whole loop needs to be closed. You need to be able to buy food, clothing, with bitcoin.

This could be quite good if you offered to buy games for countries like Australia who like to censor the hell out of games. I'm not sure if gifts transfer to the actual game, but you could maybe offer single accounts with single non-censored games for BTC.

My wife owns a women's clothing boutique. Once I get her website up and running to the point where people can purchase her clothing online I will set it up to accept bitcoins.

I also have a side hobby business where I sell gadgets, I will set that up to accept bitcoins as well.

There are a lot of places that will dropship food, clothing, etc.  I'm happy to act as a reseller accepting bitcoin.  If there's specific products you're looking for, send me a list.

Will she pay taxes for the clothes she sells? In spain thats mandatory... but if the clothes are sold with bitcoins then i suppose you could have a 18% discount (which is the amount the gov takes) Why? Because for the gov. this is not a selling but an exchange.

Does that happen in your country?

All my Bitcoin related ventures are in my signature. I sell coffee, I'm now part of the Square²Wear team (!) selling t-shirts, and have a comprehensive-ish list of other Bitcoin sites at The Bitcoin List.

The BTC economy is growing at an exponential rate.

I'm getting rid of some personal gun stuff http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=24417.msg303209#msg303209

I have a gun or two I might be willing to part with. I'll have to see how things go though. There's a guy listed on the wiki with an online gun shop. However, when I contacted him, he seemed to not take Bitcoins.

We do free shipping, so the price is similar to other "online design your t-shirt etc." sites but you can pay with bitcoins directly here, so I think that's a big pro.
You can also help us launch new designs, so if you guys have any ideas, please, let me know!  :)

I brew & sell kombucha/kefir at local farmer-markets  I offer a substantial discount for payment in bitcoin (against current local currency on the exchanges)

I've done some small escrows for friends, but that's really not taken off
